I rode in a WWII trainer that was never used for anything. it was in a crate and passed ownership 2 to 4 times until the owner of a local museum bought it and assembled it.

very interesting dog fight

Thanks Johnny - a lot of folks purchased trainers for next to nothing., Some became dusters, others pay-for-rides, and others just something to do on weekends.

Good to hear the old girl was saved.

Err Richard - sorry was responding to both and missed :)

If the dragon does dive maneuver and circles right behind them, they are toast with its dragon breath! My unsolicited advice to them would be...aim carefully as you are not going to get many second chances! Excellent work on this fun scene! :-)

The dragon's a big boy too...he probably could out dive the Albatros, although they were pretty good vertical fighters once they repositioned the upper main spar. If the aircraft dive through their passes, the dragon might have them. If they climb out they might have a chance, though they probably don't have enough energy to extend very far.

Thanks Johnny - Dragons are rarely portrayed as being particularly maneuverable, though the ones in the old Woody Harrelson movie were pretty impressive airborne. The fighters need to register good hits and hopefully startle the dragon long enough to buy time.

This was intended to use either a 109 or a P40 but I went with the Albatros for a better cockpit view. Shame for the pilots; the 109's three 20mm guns and greater speed would gave them a much better chance of survival. Also, there's a steampunk scene to be done after, which suits the older airframes :)

Err Richard - sorry was responding to both and missed. no problem at all

Cool, i feel like im the pilot.

Thanks eekdog - used a POV camera from Riversoft that was on sale. It's quite good.

Fantastic work! They'd better aim carefully, because they may not get a second pass.

Thanks starship - they won't and those 7.92 MGs might not penetrate....

Simply gorgeous my friend and fantastic dedication.👍🙋‍♂️
